Who needs the BBC when you’ve got the Tory Party 🤭

Thank you Nadia, as always you’re a brilliant advocate for trans people.

Interestingly, I’m representing Labour at a Bristol Council committee meeting on Monday where I’ll be bringing up the topic of the totally unacceptable waiting time for adults to get seen by the GIC here in the SW.

At a ‘behind closed doors’ meeting of the Downs Committee last September we discussed the potential charging of PT instructors on the Downs. Some of the papers contained sensitive information (although that’s debatable).

The committee voted for the idea.
I was the only abstention.

I can only influence certain people in the Labour Party, I’m not all powerful. But as a local politician I can hopefully make representations that will be noticed.

Labour4TransRights are doing fantastic things & have the support of many MP’s & TU’s, as witnessed by our packed out solidarity rally.

Absolute rubbish. Polanski decided to make the abhorrent killing of an innocent woman relatable to the cost of living. How? That was my point.

Of course it’s political.

My point was that Polanski finished his post about the abhorrent killing of a woman by referencing the cost of living. If that’s his style, so be it. But I think Labour are starting to make inroads into tackling the CoL.
